WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (Reuters) - U.S. evangelist Billy Graham
is being treated for respiratory congestion and is expected to
be hospitalized for several days, his spokesman said on
Wednesday.

Graham, who celebrated his 95th birthday earlier this month
at a party attended by nearly 900 guests, including celebrities,
was admitted on Tuesday to a hospital near his home in the North
Carolina mountains.

"Mr. Graham is in the hospital with a respiratory congestion
issue, similar to what he had a few weeks ago," said spokesman
Mark DeMoss. "As was the case then, we expect he will be able to
return home in a day or two."

Graham, know for his dynamic delivery of Christian gospel in
America during seven decades in the pulpit, is in frail health
and has been hospitalized on a number of occasions in recent
years. At his birthday celebration on Nov. 7, he sat in a
wheelchair and spoke only briefly to his guests.
